I have been shamefully lazy with my 3rd child and his birthday (well, not his first birthday...but definitely his 2nd...) so I really wanted to do something fun this year.

Time was ticking by and I had no time to order custom invites, so I grabbed these cute caterpillars at the Target and hand wrote the invites (ohhh- the horrors, I know!!).

Feeling kinda loser-like delivering them to Bubba's class the same day a perfectly custom princess birthday invite was sent home, I was whining about it with my friends. And JennyKate, Miss Etsy-Extraordinare, suggested a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme!!! Done!!

I mean, look at the adorable cake.....

So the baker kinda got it wrong. The Very Hungry Caterpillar did not eat through a banana, but who am I to correct her??

Thank you easy for the adorable labels......

These were my favorite part!

Perfect for a 10 am party - the fruit was yummy!
And these cute treat bags......

Bubba was very hesitant to get in the bounce house, but we did what every parent would do - we forced him screaming into it - and he loved it, just like we knew he would! (Don't judge us!)

We also made fingerprint bookmarks!!

And Sis read a story to all of Bubba's guests. Any guesses as to which story we read???

Have you seen a cuter smile?????

Because we certainly did not give every child enough sugar, we made cotton candy. Kinda a learning curve, but I got it and it was YUMMY!!!!

It was by far one of the best parties I have ever thrown - it just came together so well. The weather was perfect, the guests all had a fun time. It was awesome.

I saw some of these pics on fb. I LOVED how it turned out! I totally missed the convo in HB but JK filled me in. She's a creative one I tell ya. She's helping me throw Kiss a 40th bday celebration. You know it will be all kinds of cute and classy!

Cotton candy is soooo messy to make.....or at least it was for me when I made it at school. It was in my hair and everywhere.

What an awesome theme for a birthday party! Everything turned out so cool!! And I love that you had to 'force' the little man into the bounce house - but that he loved it. That's exactly how Princess Nagger was at that age - now she'd spend HOURS in a bounce house if we let her! :)
